Yes. In fact they are - well planning to. ATSC 3.0 allows encryption of so called "free" over the air TV and they are only doing that so they can actually override the FCC and stop people recording shows.

This feels like one of those stupid "free market" republican ideas that later comes back to bite everyone in the butt. Probably on the same level as the promise Congress people used to make that we could one day buy our own TV cable boxes.

Their aggressive military actions against Tawain and their (Well Xiâ(TM)s) statements about a probable hostile takeover over Tawaiin by 2027 kind of makes them bad. Or did we decide that autocratic Putin was not âoebadâ for invading Ukraine so he could bring back the Soviet era??
And Xiâ(TM)s promise to Trump that he will not invade Taiwan during Trumpâ(TM)s term in office seems more about playing Trump as the fool he probably perceives Trump to be.

Ergo, fomenting war is a bad thing, and in that light China should, in fact, be seen as âoebad.â

Not the smartphones per se. But the fact that they tend to keep you indoors away from the Vitamin D our bodies critically need. Find 'Medcram' on YouTube for a medical perspective about this vitamin. No, pills will not work as good.

And while we're talking about things no one is allowed to talk about, let's bring up a certain under-tested mandated medicine at one time for everyone also? If you care, Dr. Campbell on YouTube is a good resource for that.

PointCast... memory unlocked. There's a name I haven't heard in like 30 years.

I agree with you that everything old is new again, often something that wasn't as successful as it could have been and companies are trying to make the idea work. VR has been in that category for almost 4 decades, and it still is.
